Hamster DIY - Suspended Crochet Bridge

To make this bridge I used all natural Jute string a 5.5mm crochet hook. I made the stitches VERY tight so that Tims little paws wouldn't get stuck in any gaps, this took quite a bit of effort as the Jute string is very stiff. 

SC- Single Crochet

Chain 14  (or as many needed to made the bridge wide enough) 

Row 1: SC in each chain along, turn

Row 2 - 35: SC in each stitch along, turn (add or decrease the amount of rows to create a longer or shorter bridge)

Finish off. 

Tie a length of string to each corner of the piece to make supports and hang securely in the cage. To make the supports stronger I used two pieces of string in each corner and tied the pieces together all the way along. 

Safety!

• Only use materials that are safe for a hamster.
• Make sure there are NO gaps for little feet to get caught in.
• Don't hang the bridge too high from the ground and make sure there is lots of soft bedding beneath the bridge in case the little one falls off. 
• Check the bridge regularly for signs of chewing, if chewing has occurred remove the bridge. 

  

Posting Squares to Knit a Square Charity

Just a quick post about the squares that lilangelsg2 and I have sent to Knit a Square recently. We can't send too many squares at once in the post because the post cost increases after a certain weight. This mean it's cheaper to send a few at once rather than loads. So here is what we sent a few weeks ago:
